The TIME is a dynamic network composed of cancer cells, immune cells, and stromal components. During the early stages of tumorigenesis, the TIME attempts to eliminate abnormal cells through immune ...

Axons in brain cells resemble a string of pearls rather than smooth tubes, according to Johns Hopkins researchers. This ...

In a study, scientists challenge a fundamental tenet in neuroscience about the shape of axons -- the long, thin filaments radiating from nerve cells that transmit electrical signals from cell to cell ...

A research team has developed a breakthrough technology that dramatically improves the durability of alloy catalysts, a ...

Biology textbooks may need a revision, say Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists, who present new evidence that an armlike structure of mammalian brain cells may be a different shape than scientists have ...

Biology textbooks may need a revision, say scientists, who present new evidence that an arm-like structure of mammalian brain cells may be a different shape than scientists have assumed for more than ...

A new study challenges the long-held belief that axons, brain cell extensions, are tube-like, revealing instead a "pearl-on-a ...
